Abstract

The disclosure provides an electronic device including a viewing angle control structure. The viewing angle control structure includes a first substrate, a second substrate disposed opposite to the first substrate, an adjustable dielectric layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, a first alignment layer disposed between the first substrate and the adjustable dielectric layer, and a second alignment layer disposed between the second substrate and the adjustable dielectric layer. One of the first alignment layer and the second alignment layer is in a horizontal alignment and the other of the first alignment layer and the second alignment layer is in a vertical alignment.
